Step by Step

Pittsburgh, known as the city of three rivers and a cradle of cultural innovation, is revealed in all its glory on this panoramic double-decker bus tour. Starting at the Sidney Street hub, you'll embark on a carefully designed route that takes you through historic districts, iconic stadiums, cultural centres and architectural wonders without having to change transportation.

Over two hours, you'll pass through areas such as the vibrant and bustling South Side; the Strip District, famous for its food and commerce; and iconic landmarks such as PNC Park, Heinz Hall, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the National Aviary. The live guide provides real-time context, sharing anecdotes, little-known facts and the evolution of the city from its industrial roots to its dynamic present.

The tour design allows you to enjoy views from the open upper level when weather permits, or retreat to the comfort of the climate-controlled lower level. The experience balances information and visual enjoyment: each "drive-by" stop becomes an opportunity to understand why Pittsburgh is unique, from its art and science to its sports and educational history.

Beyond the urban icons, the tour includes perspectives on institutions such as the University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Point State Park where the rivers meet, and landmark buildings such as PPG Place. It's an excellent introduction for first-timers and an efficient way to reconnect for returnees.

    I enjoyed the Roof Deck, views of the riverside are the best. A little hot, but it was worth it.

    Well signposted departure point. Impeccable punctuality. Only thing missing was the warning that it takes two and a quarter hours.

    Perfect route for taking photos without carrying weight. The only problem was that the sun was shining in front of us on part of the route.
